  • Logs two hits in loss
    Duran went 2-for-5 with a double and a triple in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Atlanta.

    Advice: Duran's line Tuesday was similar to his previous game Sunday, when he logged a double and triple in a win over the Twins, only he didn't score against Atlanta. That's partially due to Boston's woeful 1-for-14 with runners in scoring position (13 LOB). Duran's done a good job of not letting any slumps linger -- the bane of his first two seasons in the majors -- and is batting .267/.339/.420 over 168 plate appearances. Tuesday's triple, his sixth, vaulted him to the top of MLB. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
     
  • Struggles with command in loss
    Hudson (0-6) took the loss Tuesday against the Giants, allowing four runs on five hits and five walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings.

    Advice: Hudson was all over the place Tuesday night, tying his season-high in walks while needing 95 pitches to complete 11 outs. The 29-year-old found a way to keep the Giants off the board for three innings before being tagged with four runs in the fourth. Hudson has given up at least four runs in four of his last five starts and is struggling to a 6.35 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 20:22 K:BB in 34 innings. He lines up for a daunting matchup at home against the Rangers over the weekend. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • On base four times in win
    Lowe went 2-for-4 with two walks, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 15-8 win over Oakland.

    Advice: Lowe, who has yet to have a day off since returning from an oblique injury in mid-April, has reached base safely 15 times in 16 games. The first baseman leads the team with a .429 on-base percentage and possesses a career-high walk rate of 15.7 percent. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Dominates Marlins over eight frames
    Yamamoto (4-1) got the win over the Marlins on Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out five over eight innings.

    Advice: Yamamoto gave up a first pitch home run to Jazz Chisholm to open up the game and his only other blemish on the night came from another solo home run by Bryan De La Cruz in the sixth. He was incredibly efficient, needing 97 pitches to navigate through eight innings. It was his first time pitching past six inning as a MLB player and he's now won four straight decisions since suffering a loss in his debut. Removing the shaky outing in Korea, Yamamoto owns a 1.76 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 45:7 K:BB in 41 innings this year. He'll look to keep things rolling next week in a projected road matchup against the Giants. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • Four-hit night
    Heim went 4-for-4 with two RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 15-8 win over Oakland.

    Advice: Heim extended a hit streak to five games, during which he's 10-for-17 with four walks, four RBI and eight runs scored. The catcher ranks third on the team with 22 RBI and fifth in runs (16) over 31 contests. With a doubleheader coming up Wednesday, Heim will likely sit out the matinee.

  • Scheduled starter Wednesday
    Leiter is scheduled to start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Athletics.

    Advice: Leiter will be making his second start for the Rangers. He allowed seven runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings in his MLB debut April 18 against the Tigers. He'll likely get at least one more start while Nathan Eovaldi (groin) serves time on the 15-day injured list. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago

  • Connects on first homer of year
    Lux went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Lux sent one out off of George Soriano in the third for his first home run since Aug. 15, 2022. Lux has been seeing the ball better as of late despite owning just a .191 batting average. He has eight hits, five RBI and five runs over his last eight games. It's been a long road back to the playing field for Lux and he seems to be gaining some traction at the plate. For the year, he's slashing .191/.258/.247 with seven RBI, 14 runs and an 8:22 BB:K in 97 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

  • Mashes grand slam in win
    Muncy went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Muncy quickly put the Dodgers ahead with a first-inning grand slam off of Edward Cabrera. It was his sixth career grand slam and fourth home run in his last three games, as he now has eight RBI over that span. Muncy is currently hitting .263, which is well above his career average, and overall is slashing .263/.370/.570 with nine homers, 26 RBI, 22 runs and a 19:40 BB:K in 138 plate appearances.

  • Launches homer in loss
    Stephenson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Stephenson's ninth-inning home run was way too late for the Reds, which logged just three hits and lost its sixth consecutive contest. Cincinnati's middle-of-the-order bats have not produced of late, which has prompted manager David Bell to move Stephenson to cleanup in the three starts since he returned from a hand injury last week.
